Here's the latest GM gaskets for intakes with upper, lower, and bolts.
19169127 kit was cheaper than aftermarket (and includes bolts)
The question is do I use the sealing washers for the 4 long bolts that seal vacuum?
The new bolts in addition to haveing loctite also have a white sealing substance under the boltheads.
I'm inclined to think not to use the washers , what you all think?

Hey, The 4 center bolts don't actually seal manifold vacuum they kind of go through free space under the manifold into the lifter valley. I would install the gaskets since it acts as a seal for the negative pressure inside the engine from the PCV valve. I seem to recall that the original equipment center bolts had some kind of seal under the bolt head also.
Good luck,
